TripleA 1.9.0.0 Released

[unkypal]

TripleA is quite new for me, therefore I don’t know where to report a bug. I just write it in here, just in case there is someone who might be interested in it.

I only have been playing the WWII v5 1942 2nd Edition map, I don’t know the other maps.

Unfortunately, with the new version (1.9.0.0.3307), there seems to be the following problems with the stratetic bombing:
-stratetic bombing doesn’t damage a factory, even it was a hit. The factory stays undamaged.
-stratetic bombing suddenly costs (shouldn’t it be for free on the WWII map?)
-there isn’t even the possibility to edit the factory damage (“change unit bombing damage”) in the Edit Mode, the buttom doesn’t appear.

With version 1.8.0.9, those things were working fine!

Welcome to the forum, unkypal.

The best place to report TripleA related bugs is

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/

but feel free to report it here, in case you are not familiar with Github, as me and others are active on Github, too.

I was able to reproduce all three issues. I can’t believe that no one noticed that before.
Thank you very much for bringing it up.

Edit I:
I reported it on Github:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/1330

Edit II:
This bug seems to affect all versions of world_war_II except Global.

Probably a data (map) problem. I’ll try and have a look soon.

I’ve found the relevant attribute and updated the relevant thread on Github, but I’m not completely sure on where the fix should apply. Some maps applying the damage to PUs is correct.

Hopefully, this will be merged soon and we won’t hear any more about it but if not everything is correct about my fixes to the 1942 versions only, you can let me know.

Thank you for your efforts, though I wonder why problems that were (possibly) introduced by an engine fix can be solved by map fixes - and - indeed - I wonder who knows which maps might be affected. Anyway let’s see how this works out…

Thanks again.

Edit:
And please, don’t leave v3 1941 out… 1941 has always been the more popular scenario.

So has there been any fix to the fact that triple a 1.9 still shitts itself on a mac when the scramble prompt comes up?  It just flashes.

No fix yet. The developpers are aware of the issue and investigating.

You can follow the issue here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/1269

Not yet - unless you want to minimise Triple-A for every scramble box.

A workaround at least…

[Karl7]

Ok, cool.  Just want to make sure it isn’t me.

[barney]

Good to know simon. Should help diagnose the problem I would think

The scramble-box issue on Macs has been fixed. Just download the latest version of TripleA.

[captainwalker]

How do I find out which download I need…the 32 bit or the 64 bit?

Triplea 1.9.0.0.3393 has a map for Europe v1 but not Europe 1940 v2.  Triplea 1.8.0.9 has Europe 1940 v2.  Does this mean I will have to stick with 1.8.0.9 in order to play the latest version of Europe?

If you are on Windows it is somewhere under computer - properties.

I don’t know what you mean. I see 3 maps - Original, Sea Lion Balanced and 2nd Edition. Perhaps try downloading the map again?

Actually it is there:

Start TripleA, hit “Download Maps” and under “High Quality - Available” you will find “World War II Europe”.
You can easily verify by the map-image and info text showing up, that this is the version you are looking for.
Once installed, you have got first and second edition of Europe 1940  (as well as a “Sealion” mod) to be found when hitting “Select Map”.

You will find the TripleA-map for the “old” Europe edition under “Experimental”, called just “Europe”.

HTH :-)

Thanks, I installed Europe and v2 also became available.

[Jennifer]

Never mind, fixed it.

Stickied so people can find the download easier.
